Project Background

Charleston County identified funding to improve Main Road in the 2016 Transportation Sales Tax ordinance. At that time, the ordinance listed the project as the US 17 at Main Road flyover and widening Main Road from Bees Ferry Road to Betsy Kerrison Parkway. In an effort to expedite improvements, the County has separated the project into three segments: Segment A, Segment B, and Segment C.

Segment C begins at the intersection of Bohicket Road and Maybank Highway and extends to Betsy Kerrison Parkway. The project team studied several options for the segment, including widening River Road, widening Bohicket Road, and constructing a new road across the island.
